§ Statement of Purpose

The View from 1776 presents a framework to understand present-day issues from the viewpoint of the colonists who fought for American independence in 1776 and wrote the Constitution in 1787. Knowing and preserving those understandings, what might be called the unwritten constitution of our nation, is vital to preserving constitutional government. Without them, the bare words of the Constitution are just a Rorschach ink-blot that politicians, educators, and judges can interpret to mean anything they wish.

"We have no government armed with the power capable of contending with human passions, unbridled by morality and true religion. Our constitution is made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams, to the Officers of the First Brigade, Third Division, Massachusetts Militia, October 11, 1798.

Contrary to popular belief (and that of the secular left wing press), it is relevant that Sen. Barack Obama has chosen spiritual mentors who are bigots and hostile to the United States. Plainly put, Obama has too many close relationships with people who are morally bankrupt. Obama engenders no confidence that he would uphold the entirety of The Bill of Rights or show respect for civic tolerance if he became president.

How many more outrageous raving from the likes of Revs. Jeremiah Wright, Otis Moss and renegade Catholic priest Michael Pfeger must Americans witness before they realize who and what Obama represents? Many no longer wonder who Barack Obama is, because it has become painfully evident that he is an untrustworthy Marxist-Socialist.

Obama should have been recognized as a source of embarrassment to the Democratic Party a long time ago. He is obviously extraordinary dense when it comes to whom he chooses to call a friend or a religious mentor, whether or not it is excused for the sake of his political advancement. He is irresponsible as well as being a conniving far Left politician who hangs out with Chicago’s boisterous cast of disreputable characters.

Go to the dictionary and read the definition of four words: Racist, bigot, un-American and anti-Semitic. Say these out loud while contemplating Election Day and ask yourself who America ought to choose as their president and Commander-in-Chief.

It remains to be seen just how low our nation has fallen; virtually half of America appears to have been mesmerized by Obama’s potent illusion. Obviously this man enjoys fellowshipping with an uninhibited, unabashedly unapologetic congregation that blames and mocks white people for Sunday fare. Democrats seem ready and willing to except a man who is beholden to Black Liberation Theology (though most may be ignorant as to what that actually is) and a church that extends an antagonistic negative message.

This past March, Pfleger invited Rev. Jeremiah Wright to speak at Saint Sabina (Pfleger’s Chicago house of worship) after Wright’s Internet extravaganza became known and the infamous “God Damn America” had been heard all over the world. His words will never be forgotten. Our citizens, including the brave troops serving their country, were deeply offended; the troops’ sacrifices afford these clergymen their freedom of speech and worship.

Voters must decide how important Obama’s associations with terrorists and hate-pandering militant figures are going to tally up against his dubious campaign promises.

“Recognizing her inevitable loss, Sen. Hillary Clinton cried in public because she thought being white entitled her to the Democratic presidential nomination, declared a close associate and spiritual adviser of Sen.Barack Obama at the Illinois senator’s Chicago church.

Chicago Catholic pastor Michael Pfleger, speaking Sunday at Obama’s Trinity United Church of Christ, implied Clinton was a white supremacist who believed she would win the nomination because of ‘white entitlement.’

“Pfleger, who practices black liberation theology, is a regular guest speaker at Trinity church. He was introduced at Sunday’s Sermon by Obama’s new pastor, Rev. Otis Moss III, who called Pfleger a ‘brother beloved, he is a preacher par-excellence, he is a prophetic powerful pulpiteer.’

Pfleger : “‘Reverend Moss, when Hillary was crying, and people said that was put on, I really don’t believe it was put on. I really believe that she just always thought, ‘This is mine. I’m Bill’s wife. I’m white. And this is mine. I just got to get up and step into the plate.’

“‘And then out of nowhere came, hey, I’m Barack Obama. And she said, ‘Oh damn, where did you come from? I’m white. I’m entitled. There’s a black man stealing my show.’” Full Article

Religious beliefs most assuredly influence office-holders, and thus public policy. Because Black Liberation Theology is unique, it deserves special scrutiny. Those who hold the candidate’s countenance give an enormous insight into Barack Obama. It should matter to Americans that $225,000 in state pork-barrel grants have been allotted to Pfleger’s church programs by his good friend, Sen. Obama. We ought to remember this when we hear again from Obama’s friendly church family.

It is written to the church in Chicago: “And for this reason God will send them strong delusion that they should believe the lie that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” (2 Thessalonians 2:11-12) “Tekel means ‘weighed’ ? you have been weighed on the balances and have not measured up.” (Daniel 5:27)

Voting is a privilege. Americans must be very cautious before deciding how to cast their votes. There are no apologies or rationalizations sufficient to remove the racist stigma that is now connected to Barack Obama’s name.
